beechbum Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 There's one near wine connection Chalong (same side a few shops south) on ChaoFa east, another in Rawai on Wiset rd. Don't know if either have what your after, maybe take picture with you to show them. There's more around phuket, googles your friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

visaruna Posted March 18, 2018 Author Share Posted March 18, 2018 thanks for the info... i was reading its illegal to spearfish in thailand...yet many shops sell spearguns??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beechbum Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Yeah it is and they do..have seen some people going out at Nai Harn to spear fish, We enjoy fishing but definitely not a fan of spearfishing (Don't mind what you call a hawaiian sling, we call the gigee's where i come from), fish in Asia have a hard time getting to size as it is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huuwi Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 phuket town near the clock circle is one shop who has plenty of spear guns and parts. the owner himself goes spearfishing, he maybe can give up some of his spots, nice guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
